What is the trunk capacity of the BMW 5 Series New Energy?
3 Answers
The trunk capacity of the BMW 5 Series New Energy is 520 liters. In terms of body dimensions, it measures 5087mm in length, 1868mm in width, 1500mm in height, and has a wheelbase of 3108mm, which are consistent with the gasoline version of the BMW 5 Series. In terms of power, the car is equipped with a 2.0T turbocharged engine and a permanent magnet synchronous single motor. The engine is paired with an 8-speed automatic transmission, delivering a maximum power of 185kw, with a pure electric range of 61km. The official combined fuel consumption under the NEDC cycle is 1.6L per 100km. Externally, apart from specific badges, the hybrid version of the BMW 5 Series has little difference from the standard version, with energy efficiency and environmental protection being its key features.
I've tested the trunk capacity of the BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid, which is officially stated at around 460 liters, slightly smaller than the gasoline version mainly due to the battery pack taking up some space. However, it's still quite practical for daily use—you can fit two large suitcases plus several carry-on bags without issues, making it sufficient for weekend trips or grocery runs. The only limitation is the height restriction; you can't stack items too high, so moving bulky furniture like tables might be challenging. I recommend bringing a suitcase for a real-world test during your visit, as capacities may vary slightly across model years. Overall, given its sedan positioning, it's naturally more compact than an SUV, but the fuel efficiency and eco-friendliness make this small trade-off worthwhile.
As a daily driver, I understand that the BMW 5 Series plug-in hybrid has a trunk capacity of around 460 liters. The battery does reduce the original space, but the depth is sufficient, making it more than enough for daily luggage like two carry-on suitcases and three or four shopping bags. Practical advice: don't overlook measuring the actual height limit, as it affects stacking items. Compared to the 520 liters of the gasoline version, it is indeed reduced, but it doesn’t impact family use. For business trips or travel, as long as it’s enough, that’s fine. I recommend evaluating whether it suits your needs based on your personal loading habits.
